Thanks for posting this Paladin...I was having exactly the same problem with Curses!

Usually I've found most compile errors with RedHat 9 (and Fedora Core 1, which I run at home) can be fixed by running apt-get against some "-devel" package. This didn't help with Curses. And I wanted Curses. Bad. I like console apps.

The one I haven't been able to conquer is OpenGL support. Sadly, there are no bugs listed on the bug page for OpenGL.pm on RedHat 9 or Fedora Core 1. Anyone know if there are any patches available for this?
